skipped a day

in many ways... I didn't eat... I didn't go to the gym... I didn't blog... it was almost as if the day never happened... but then, I did work (and got a lot done) and I did watch Enterprise (which is growing on me) and 24 which is getting dull for me) and instead of the gym after that, I banged heads with Precious for a couple of hours (sometimes it's like that) and then zoned into the TV as I slowly, very slowly drifted off to sleep... I think I slept a few hours...

I did eat today... and get to the gym... and here we are... I also worked and got lots done (no one was around cuz more than half the place is sick and a large percentage are taking sick days... I'm sniffling, which means I am working on keeping the bug from making itself at home in me... I'm taking Thursday off to go to Sea World with Augustdreams (who I've known for years from diaryland which will probably make me nostalgic to revisit people there, if I wind the time)... also, this is the last week to buy a single day ticket to Sea World that works like an annual pass...

I am left with a lot of energy tonight because I got to the gym a bit late due to watching American Idol and House (I am trying to be human, remember, so getting past the aversion I sometimes have to watching TV is part of that process... I mean, how am I going to be happy growing old with someone if I have an aversion sitting around doing nothing but watching TV, right?... I am only partially being a smartass, by the way...

I decided to come home and not jog around because I want to try to get some sleep tonight, especially since Rasputin (who is snoring on the couch with the TV on, as usual) wants to use my phone again in the morning which means I need to charge it before I fall asleep (cuz I don't like leaving the battery plugged in past a 100% charge) and I have to set my alarm clock (which is just a minor break in routine, but I am happier waking to my phone)... then I must remember to charge my phone tomorrow at work so I have it charged for Thursday... writing it here will help me remember...

I hope life is going well for you and I hope you are taking good care of yourself (if you didn't read Q's wisdom in his comment in the previous entry here, go read it)... one great point I got out of it goes like this: desires are multi-layered... our senses have desires that can conflict with the rest of our body... if we always do what we want to do, we need to remember to balance which sense and which part of our mind is making the decision... for if we satisfy any one part too much, the rest (and the whole) will suffer)...

take that taste buds :)

and now I might munch a snack before bed cuz the scale gave me good news and the muscles are asking for protein... even though these are supposed to be the strict days of the week, I'm practicing flexibility and compromise (how's that for rationalization, nyuk nyuk)... hey, I still pass the chocolate sitting out on the kitchen counter just a foot from my nose every time I go into the kitchen...

take care of you :)
